Waqar Salamkheil produced a moment of magic in the International League (IL)T20 2025 match between MI Emirates and Desert Vipers, dismissing the dangerous Alex Hales with the beauty of a delivery.

Waqar Salamkheil dismantles Alex Hales with a stunning delivery

Bowling the very first ball of his spell, Salamkheil unleashed a mesmerizing leg-break that was nothing short of a masterclass in spin bowling. The delivery landed on a good length just outside off stump, gripping the surface with precision an?d fizzing through the air. Hales, who had been batting fluently, completely misjudged the trajectory and spin. Expecting less turn, he left an expansive gap between his bat and pad, creating an inviting pathway for the ball. With sharp deviation off the pitch, the ball zipped through the gap, clipped the top of the middle stump, and sent it cartwheeling. The sheer artistry of the delivery left Hales visibly stunned and underlined Waqar’s ability to deceive even the most accomplished batters with his guile and contro??l.

This dismissal broke the Vipers’ strong opening stand of 62 runs and provided Emirates with a crucial breakthrough. Hales�?quickfire knock of 34 off 22 balls, including six boundaries, was pivotal for the Vipers�?aggressive start, but Waqar’s brilliance brought it to an end. It was a perfect example of a bowler outwitting a set batter with skill and precision.
